Margaret Atwood is known as one of the major contemporary writers and one of the greatest names of the Canadian Literature. She uses her characters to make political and social discussion about several themes. Her book, The Handmaid s Tale (1985), which is the focus of this research, constitutes a vast material for analysis of issues concerning power relations and subject identity. Thus, the aim of this study is to identify the representations of the social forces that move and recognize as valid an anti-democratic system, analyzing and investigating power relations in the construction of the individual identity, from the perspective of the subject and its relationship with the social environment. The methodological procedures used in the analysis are based on a close reading of Margaret Atwood s text and on its critical essays. In order to fundament the analysis of power and the intricate relationship of the social voices in The Handmaid s Tale, the theories of Michel Foucault and Mikhail Bakhtin were most relevant, providing insights into the study and the researcher s apprehension of the fictional universe of Margaret Atwood, as well as of the general context in which the work takes part.
